Multiple textures for blocks (top, side, bottom etc.)

[teunie75]

(I've read the post on the forums about textures)

But I still don't know how I can set textures for multiple sides, I already followed a tutorial on it.

That was using Deprecated code.

 

I want my block to have 4 different textures

Normal front

Activated (front)

Side(s)

Top and bottom

 

public class Furnace extends Block

{

private Icon top;

 

private Icon bottom;

 

private Icon side;

 

private Icon front;

 

private Icon burnFront;

 

 

public Furnace (int id) {

super(id, Material.iron);

 

}

 

 

}

The pumpkin could have helped you.

 

Anyways, there is a method you can override. It's called Block.getIcon(int side, int meta); and takes the side for which to retrieve the texture and the metadata of the block in case you need it as parameters.

 

Example:

public Icon getIcon( int side, int meta ) {
    ForgeDirection dir = ForgeDirection.getOrientation(side);
    if( dir == ForgeDirection.UP ) {
        return meta == 0 ? iconTopUnpowered : iconTopPowered;
    }
    else if( dir == ForgeDirection.DOWN ) {
        return iconBottom;
    }
    else {
        return iconSide;
    }
}

How can I use to front, because the things you've done can only use the sides and bottom and top. (That is working)

But how can I use the front (the side the player places it), as a seperate texture?

And how can I use the activation and change the texture.

Whoa! this guy want's to get real crazy with his textures

 

how about a furnace:

    public Icon getIcon(int par1, int par2)
    {
        return par1 == 1 ? this.furnaceIconTop : (par1 == 0 ? this.furnaceIconTop : (par1 != par2 ? this.blockIcon : this.furnaceIconFront));
    }

the metadata on the furnace is its rotation

I still don't get it.

This is what I have right now

public Icon getIcon(int side, int meta) {

    ForgeDirection dir = ForgeDirection.getOrientation(side);

    if( dir == ForgeDirection.UP ) {

    return this.top;

    }

    else if( dir == ForgeDirection.DOWN ) {

        return this.bottom;

    }

    else {

    if (Need to check if this other side is turned towards the player){

    return front;

    }else{

    return this.side;

    }

    }

}

    	if (Need to check if this other side is turned towards the player){
    	return front;
    	}else{
    		return this.side;
    	}

 

That would be using the metadata.

 

if(side == meta) {return front }

using the furnace code, setting the front the default direction seems to work

 

 

 

private void setDefaultDirection(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)
{
    if (!par1World.isRemote)
    {
        int l = par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4 - 1);
        int i1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4 + 1);
        int j1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2 - 1, par3, par4);
        int k1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2 + 1, par3, par4);
        byte b0 = 3;

        if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[l] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[i1])
        {
            b0 = 3;
        }

        if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[i1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[l])
        {
            b0 = 2;
        }

        if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[j1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[k1])
        {
            b0 = 5;
        }

        if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[k1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[j1])
        {
            b0 = 4;
        }

        par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, b0, 2);
    }
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

/**
* From the specified side and block metadata retrieves the blocks texture. Args: side, metadata
*/
public Icon getIcon(int par1, int par2)
{
    return par1 == 1 ? this.GUIBlockTop : (par1 == 0 ? this.GUIBlockTop : (par1 != par2 ? this.blockIcon : this.GUIBlockFront));
}

Ok, it works with the setDefaultDirection method.

This is the class now:

 

 

 

public class Furnace extends Block

{

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

private Icon top;

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

private Icon bottom;

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

private Icon side;

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

private Icon front;

 

public Furnace (int id) {

super(id, Material.iron);

 

}

 

public Icon getIcon(int side, int meta) {

    ForgeDirection dir = ForgeDirection.getOrientation(side);

    if( dir == ForgeDirection.UP ) {

    return this.top;

    }

    else if( dir == ForgeDirection.DOWN ) {

        return this.bottom;

    }

    else {

    if (side == meta){

    return front;

    }else{

    return this.side;

    }

    }

}

 

@Override

public void registerIcons(IconRegister ir){

this.side = ir.registerIcon("Furnace_side");

this.bottom = ir.registerIcon("Furnace_top");

this.top = ir.registerIcon("Furnace_top");

this.front = ir.registerIcon("Furnace_front");

}

 

private void setDefaultDirection(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)

{

    if (!par1World.isRemote)

    {

        int l = par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4 - 1);

        int i1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4 + 1);

        int j1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2 - 1, par3, par4);

        int k1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2 + 1, par3, par4);

        byte b0 = 3;

 

        if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[l] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[i1])

        {

            b0 = 3;

        }

 

        if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[i1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[l])

        {

            b0 = 2;

        }

 

        if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[j1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[k1])

        {

            b0 = 5;

        }

 

        if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[k1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[j1])

        {

            b0 = 4;

        }

 

        par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, b0, 2);

       

    }

}

 

public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)

    {

        super.onBlockAdded(par1World, par2, par3, par4);

        this.setDefaultDirection(par1World, par2, par3, par4);

    }

}

You don't need to declare @SideOnly for every variable, the annotation carries on until the next method is called.
